Creating LINQ to SQL Object Models using SqlMetal
In a previous tip on Querying SQL Server databases using LINQ to SQL, you have seen how we can model our SQL Server databases using LINQ with Visual Studio 2008. I have a database with a lot of tables and stored procedures, so dragging-and-dropping them on the Visual Studio design surface would take some time. Is there a faster way to create LINQ to SQL object models?
Introduction to Language Integrated Query (LINQ)
Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) is a groundbreaking innovation in Visual Studio 2008 and the .NET Framework version 3.5 that bridges the gap between the world of objects and the world of data. As LINQ is part of the development enhancements in SQL Server 2008, how can I have an understanding of how it works and how I can use it in other areas of administration, not just SQL Server?
Querying SQL Server databases using LINQ to SQL
In a recent tip on Language INtegrated Query (LINQ), you have described how it can be used as a query language extension to both VB.NET and C#. How can we use LINQ to SQL in .NET applications to query SQL Server databases?
Reading XML documents using LINQ to XML
In a recent tip on Language Integrated Query (LINQ), you have described how it can be used as a query language extension to both VB.NET and C#. As XML has become a popular means to store data for ease of interoperability, how do we use LINQ to query XML data?
Using LINQ to join data from multiple SQL Servers
In my project I need to retrieve and join data from two different SQL Server databases on two different SQL Server instances. The data retrieval can only be done via the existing stored procedures that have been created in these databases. In this tip we look at how we can join two datasets from different servers using LINQ.
Using Stored Procedures with LINQ to SQL
In a recent tip on Querying SQL Server databases using LINQ to SQL, you have described how it can be used to query SQL Server databases. How do I use LINQ to SQL with stored procedures that retrieve database records?
